Two Hogs on q Train.

The other evening, on one of the
suburban trains going out of Boston,
there was q we'll known vocalist, who
appropriated to his sole use and comfort
two saats. While this luxuriant way
farer vas enjoying 80 much room there
entered the car man considerable under
the influence of liquor. The inebriate
could find no available seat save that
which the first mentioned passenger had
appropriated, and going up to the latter
the bbulous traveller said: "Move
over, please (hic y I want s.seat."
The other glanced up With look of
intense scorn, but did not deign further
notice just then of his interlocutor. The
Intoxicated individual returned again to
the charge with, Cant you move over
(hic y and give fellow seat?" "No,
T can't and won't; you are drunk" was
the curt response. "Well," stammered
the other. ri know I'm drunk, (hic y
out I'll get over that. You're a hog,

Deadly Droughts.

CHICAGO, July mo such drought as
now prevails has existed in Illinois and
Wisconsin for many years. The roads
are ankle deep with dust, pastures are
brown aud leaves on forest and shade
trees shrivelled up, and each hot breath
of air from the cloudless horizon drives
them away in showers. Creeks have run
dry and the water in the larger streams
is at a lower stage than was ever known
before. There has not been soaking
rain in this point of the country since
March. Two showers in April and one
each in May and June had but a tempor-
ary effect on the crops. Stunted yellow
spears, bending disconsolately over i'm
mense beds of dust, are the only evidence
that the farmers sowed any corn this
year. The leaves of the forest trees are
falling of, and the fruit, which promised
to be plenty, is wrinkled and dried to the
stem. Raspberry bushes look as though
they were producing crop of shot, so
in6nitesimal and hard are the berries.
The drought has become SO terrible
that public prayers are being offered for
rain. Fences along the country roads
and dead walls of villages are plastered
with huge bills, calling for special SER
vices at district schoolhouses and
churches.
Fires are burning in the woods, and
pastures for miles around are scorched.
Farms have lost many cattle in these
fires, which seem to spring up in dozen
places at once.
Reports from all parts of Henry and
adjoining counties tell ofintense suffering
from drought. The drinking water in
many. towns has been polluted, and tie
white beds of creeks are covered with
decaying fish.
The drought in the Northern and cen.
tral tiers of counties ofIllinois is not any
more serious than it is in Wisconsin.
The Badger State is literally burning up,
and fruit crops are nearly destroyed.
Reports from Northwestern Iowa state
that the drought has been broken.

A Story About q Drum.

Adjutant General Drum, who has
achieved a national reputation this week
az the originator of the resolution to re-.
turn the captured battle flags to the
States, has been for many years we'll.
known figure in Washington. He
entered the army more than thirty years
ago as a private soldier, and by merit
and soldierly qualities has risen to be
Adjutant General of the army in the
face of the prejudice which naturally
keeps every man who rises from the
ranks from the highest military positions.
The West Pointers say that General
Drums rise fatty contradicts the charge
that no man stands show in the army
unless he has been graduated at West
Point.
General Drum is not only extremely
popular with the officers, but a circum.
stance occurred some years ago which
made the inmates of the soldiers homes
and the enlisted men of the army entbu.
siastic about him.. It was matter of
just complaint to the veterans out at the
Soldiers home near Washington that all
the early fruits and vegetables which
they raised by their own labor we're re-
served to supply the table of the superin.
tendent of the home, the higher officers
of the War Department, and even the
White House. During the Hayes admin
istration not only were all of the delica.
cies of the garden sent to the White
House and to these high officials,
but when Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes went out
to the Soldiers home cottages, which
they occupied by courtesy during
the Summer, their table was supplied
from the work of the old soldiers. Just
about that time General Drum was
ordered to Washington. One day in
May, 1881, cart drove up to General
Drums house loaded with vegetables
from the Soldiers home. The General
went out to see what was up. 1t was
explained to him, and also the bad prac.
tice in vogue among high officers. The
old gentleman few into a rage on the
spot. "Take the cart away" he roared.
"I'll have you to understand that when /
want vegetables I'll send down to the
market and get them. don't want the
soldiers vegetables. am no dead beat,
and I'll not be treated as one."
This, Of course, was carried i'm.
mediately back to the soldiers, who got
it in print. Then the extent of the scan.
dal was developed and the Washington
newspapers rang with it. The names of
the officers who had fattened upon the
earnings of the soldiers were published,
and such tornado was raised that the
abuse was instantly stopped. Some of

Colauitt as Lamar's Successor.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator M.
G. Butler, of South Carolina, is quoted
as saying he believes Secretary Lamar
will be appointed to the vacancy on the
Supreme Bench, and that Senator Col
quit, of Georgia, will probably succeed
MIR. Lamar as Secretary of the Interior.
The Georgia Senator denies that he has
been offered the place, but it seems to
be understood among his friends that he
can have it if he desires it. Senator Col.
quit has been strongly identified with
the temperance movement in Georgia
and some doubt has been expressed as to
the advisability of the President inviting
him into the Cabinet on that account.
A prominent Southern Democrat said
to-day: at will do MIR. Cleveland no
harm in the South to take such strong
temperance man into his Cabinet as Mr..
Colquitt. The sentiment throughout the
South among the best people is in favor
of temperance. 1t might have some
effect in New York and other Northern
States, but don't believe Mr. Cleveland
will pay much attention to that phase of
the subject

The War Rum0rs In Europe.

The war rumors which disturbed the
political atmosphere Of Europe in the
Writer and early Spring, but which for
awhile subsidized, have begun to rise again
on the Eastern breeze. This time Rus.
sia, France, England and Turkey are the
parties. England has arranged a treaty
with Turkey in regard to protectorate
over Egypt, by which England is to gain
control of the Suez Canal, for the passage
of troops and munitions of war, and the
Porto is urged to sign it. France, urged
by Russia, it would seem, protests against
this arrangement to the extent virtually
of threatening war with the Porte, war
in which Russia, it issupposed, would be
greatly interested. If Turkey should
ratif the convention with England, the
latter would be expected to give substan-
tial sid and comfort in case of trouble
with other nations.
If Ifl7rance should be drawn into war
with Turkey and England, this would be
a grei!t card for Germany as the martial
ardor of the French would be expended
or some object that would leave the
Rhine provinces out of the question.
Ever since the Franco German war there
has been talk of France making ready to
retaliate on Germany, but so far Bismarck
has t'een able to keep out of trouble.
France has been pretty regularly at war
with one nation or another, but in spite
of the reported popular feeling against
Germnny the blow has constantly been
ayerted.
In lhe event Of war over Turkey it
will rot be easy for the other powers to
keep cut of it. The possible dismember.
ment Of the Ottoman Empire in Europe
deeply interests Austria and Italy, and
Germany too, but in lesser degree.
The rllmors are only rumors as yet.

oThe action of the State Board of Agri.
culture in locating the Agricultural Sta
tions is not q surprise to us, though we
think their action hasty and ill-timed.
Ofall the offers submitted, there can be
no doubt that taken at the actual figures
offered, the Spartanburg offer was the
best, and il an immediate location were
necessary, the Board would have done
fight in the selection, but with the offers
which could have been made by Green
vile, and the increase which Anderson,
Oconee and Pickens would have made,
the State would undoubtedly have been
the gamer. Spartanburg might have
increased her offer, and still have secured
the Station, but she would have had to
pay more for it. The stopping of the
matter BY locating now was just about
such a policy as an auctioneer would
pursue who knocked down while the
bidding was going on. The location
ought NOT, We think, to have been made
until after the next session of the Legis.

lature, for there may, and probably will
be, considerable changes made lin the
scope of the Act to conform with The Act
Of Congress, and perhaps to establish an
Agricultural College. It is generally
supposed that majority of the Board of
Agriculture are opposed to the Agricul.
tural College, and this doubtless
accounts for the haste of the Board in
locating. The plan for establishing the
College, which has been most advocated,
is the consolidation of the Agricultural
Department, the Experimental Station,
the United States appropriations all into
one management, by which the funds
necessary to operate an Agricultural Col.
lege can be easily raised. The location
of the Stations by the Board of Agricul.
ture interferes with this plan, as far as
the Board of Agriculture can do. This
probably was the strongest reason for the
immediate location of the Stations

A Ghastly Discovery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 3O.-The
people of this section are excited over a
ghastly discovery made on Monday near
Cookville, situated on what was known
many years ago as the Kentucky Stock
Road. This was, at the time, the princi-
pal highway for traders between Ken
tucky and Georgia, or South Carolina.
stopping.places on the road were few and
far between, and many men returning
after selling their stock never reached
home. Some years ago skeleton was
found at the entrance to cave near
Cookville, and a few days ago party
concluded to explore the cave. Back on
the mountain side, about one.half mile
from one of the notorious stopping places
on the old road, the entrance to the cave
was found. A hole something like a
we'll going straight down some thirty.
Eve feet was first passed through, and
then the cave opened into large caverns
with downward course under the noun
tain. At the bottom of the shaft the
party found human bones, and, with a
little digging in the debris that had
accumulated at this point, unearthed
about sixty skeletons of men who had
been murdered and thrown down this
hole. Some skulls were found with bul.
let holes through them, others being
mashed with an ak or instrument of that
kind. Old citizens now living in this
vicinity say that the keepers of these
dens would keep track of the travellers
when they passed through with stock,
and on their return they would be
almost certain to disappear. There IL
another cave twenty miles from Cook.
Vile near one of the ancient inns, and
an exploration Of it will be made also.

The Truth About Guiteau's Head.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-It has been
published recently that some parties in
New York had purchased the head Of
Guiteau, the murderer of President Gar
field, for which ofense he was hung in
the United States Jail here, and that re-
port denied and the fact asserted that the
head is still in the Army Medical Muse.
UNI. Ihave recently come into possession
of the facts in relation to the case, and
give the truth of the matter to your read.
ers. At the time of the hanging Of
Guiteau and for several years afterward
there vas employed in the museum
doctor named Earnest Schafhirt, who was
an expert in all things relating to EN-.
balming and the preservation of the
human body from decay after death.
The head of Guiteau was severed from
the body and taken possession of by
Schafhirt, by whom it was prepared and
put in glass jar for preservation, and
was preserved. Some years after this the
jar containing the head was taken from
the Museum by Schafhirt, put in square
box and buried in cellar, where it
remained until some months ago, when
it was sold to the parties who now have
it. Schafhirt, on account of some domes.
tic infelicity or unfaithfulness on his part,
involving court proceedings, left the city
year or so ago, and his friends or family
are in ignorance of his whereabouts.
The above are the facts in the case, as
can be verified if necessary. Some ques-
ton has been raised as to whether the
present owners have good title to their
ghastly property, but that cannot amount
to much, as it would be difficult for the
government to establish property in a
cadaver or fractional part thereof. Be-
sides, the government never claimed to
own the head. So there is no doubt
whatever that neither the hard nor the
soft part of the head of Garfelds assassin
is in the possession of the United States,
while the skeleton of the body is. A
price was paid for it, and it is not proba-
BILE the purchasers would have paid their
money for spurious article, although
they have no abstract Of title.

Coming Elections.

We are to have few elections this year.
Both parties may rest for the great strug.
gle of 1883. Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Kentucky, Iowa ard Ohio will elect gov
ernors next fall. Legislatures are to be
chosen by these States, and also by Vir-
ginia, New York and New Jersey. New
York and Pennsylvania will elect minor
State officers. The most exciting con.
tests of the year will probably be the
prohibition elections in Texas and Ten
nessee. Oregon is also to vote on this
question, but the campaign in that State
is mild compared to that in either Texas
or Tennessee. Only three of the legisla-
lures to be chosen this year will have the
election of United States Senators.
These are the legislatures of Iowa, Ken
tucky and Virginia. The Democrats are
very confident of carrying Virginia, thus
securing, for a Democrat the senatorial
seat nov occasionally occupied by Mr..
Riddleberger. Malone is scheming to
make the legislature Republican SO that
lie can return to the Senate but happily
there is little prospect that Virginia and
the country will have to endure such
calamity.
